Dog Walkers in Ridgely, MO

About: My dog is my best friend; we do everything together. If you choose me to be responsible for your pet, that pet will get the love and attention it deserves as YOUR best friend. During walks with your furry friend I can keep gentle control of a troublemaker and keep a good pace with any dog, fast or slow. If you choose me to drop in and visit your pet, I will make that visit the best part of mine and your animal’s day. If you need a house-sitter while you’re away - don’t worry at all, your pet(s) and home are in good hands. I house-sat for my neighbor with four cats on and off for three years. I would love to get to know your pets!

“Erin is WONDERFUL!! She was prompt, respectful, and had excellent communication. She even came over twice before her appointment to watch them just to make sure they were comfortable with her. I 100% recommend her!”

About: I got my first dog when I was 10, and have been dog and cat sitting since I was 12. I want it to be the best experience for your pet and you. I have patience, am caring, hardworking, and always high on energy to play with the pets. I will send you updates and let you know when the job has been complete. Your pets are more than a job to me, for I want to bring them love and comfort. I would be honored to bring you and your pet quality care with lots of love! I’m currently a part of a proffesional dance company, where I go in for 4 hours each day. I then have time after that to come play and watch your pets! I teach dance in the evening and nights, but have time to stop by and check on the pets when needed! My weekends are fully open to spend as much time loving and caring for your pets! I will care for your pets with tender and care. I am unable to watch them in my home, but can do all the pet needs at yours. I can take them for enjoyable walks, feed them, play with them, stop by for bathroom breaks, fresh air, and give them lots of hugs and love. I can crate them if needed and give them someone to play with so they don’t feel lonely!

About: I put 12 years as my experience with taking care of animals because that is how long I have had my own animals but I have been around animals my whole 32 years of life. My household consists of my husband and two daughters plus our 6 dogs, 2 cat, 1 bearded dragon, 1 snake, and 11 chickens. My husband and I pride ourselves on making sure our animals are well cared for, trained and loved! I am a teacher in Plattsburg. We have school 4 days a week, Tuesday-Friday. During the school year I am very limited on availability due to school, planning, and my kids activities. I am available for most breaks and during the summer. I am not easily scared or timid of any animal. My husband and I pride ourselves on giving our animals the best care possible. Unfortunately due to the amount of animals we have and my daughters, I am not able to offer in home care or able to stay at your home overnight. I would love to be the reliable pet lover you are needing for dog walks, daytime drop ins for potty breaks and socialization and care.

About: I rescued my first pet (cat) and spoiled my second (dog). Have fun playing fetch and taking long walks, and love to hang out with cats too. I have just recently moved back to Missouri from Bozeman, Montana and am always looking to stay busy with side jobs on my time off. I can easily crate dogs (only if asked or necessary) in a client’s home. I can recognize different techniques to use on differently trained animals.

“Brandi came and walked my dog every day for several weeks while I was waiting for hip replacement. A definite plus for me. She varied her times around weather and the fact that my doggy gets hot if the sun is too much (she came in the evening).”

“I booked Cooper for a 3-day walk with my dogs. It was really cold that week. On day 3, it was snowing, I told her that if the roads were bad, we can just cancel the walk. She came and walked the dogs that day. Really love her!”

“Oh my goodness she was fantastic! Lincoln was looking out the door for her for awhile after she left. 🥲”

About: Hi, my name is Kelly and I have grown up with dogs since I was born and couldn't imagine life without them. As a teenager, I took care of our family dog and also was a dog sitter for friends. For the past 5 yrs, I have been mom to a wonderful german shepherd. She is my child and is treated as such, as all pets should be! We love to go on adventures and spend as much time outdoors as we can. As a sitter, I will treat your pet as my own and can send pictures to keep you updated. I have been a sitter for dogs, cats, and hamsters. We also had rabbits growing up. I have also been a dog walker for the ASPCA. I currently am teleworking full time so I flexibility for day time walks/visits around my meeting schedule. I am also available most weekends that I am in town. Having had lots of experience working with different doggy personalities and breeds, I’m confident and comfortable watching all dogs. Safety is obviously of the utmost importance and so I would like to know about habits and things to look for before watching your pup (i.e is your dog a door dasher or a counter surfer).

About: I have tons of pet care experience. I used to work in a daycare/ boarding facility. I have also cared for dogs in my home before. I am available every day of the week with flexible hours. I am also a certified pet trainer and your dog may come home with new skills or improved manners just for fun. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise and socializing. I will love your dog as much as you do and will treat them like my own. I am respectful and responsible with any of your personal needs or wants when it comes you and your four legged friends. Please let me care for your pet while you are gone and trust that I will take good care of them. I am home full time with the exception of personal outings and running errands. I will be able to let your pups out for potty breaks, go for walks and have plenty of time to play. I make sure that a leash is always attached before opening a door to take your dog for a walk unless fenced in. We currently don’t have a fence, but will hopefully soon. We have two friendly dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of friends, family, and neighbors’ pets since I was about 15 doing drop in visits, going on walks and much more! I currently have a dog, two cats and 4 fish. I love taking care of animals! I work at my family’s business and have pretty flexible work hours. I can leave if needed to take care of pets during the day. With a schedule there should be no problem any day of the week. I take great pride in making sure each pet is loved, safe, and well taken care of. Cats and dogs are safe under my watch and will be well loved.

About: I always insure that pets are comfortable! I’ve taken care of old cats and dogs, and I when they are old like that it’s important to meet their needs first, as most of the time they need a lot of guidance and help. I am currently going into online college, so most of my day is free! I often sit down and watch TV or play video games, but I mostly enjoy writing and drawing in my free time I personally like to ask owners how there pets are in the company of others, as well as if any weather bugs them! The comfort of my pets, and owners is always my number 1 priority! I want to make sure that they are comfortable around me, and I never approach any animal until I’ve let them sniff me, it’s important that they trust me to be around them.

About: Growing up with a revolving door of furry friends (rescue pups and adopted kitties to be exact!), I understand the special bond we share with our animal companions. My home office offers a calm and loving environment where your dog can relax and receive personalized attention. I believe in tailoring each experience to their unique needs, whether it's a playful puppy, a senior who enjoys gentle strolls, or a special needs furball requiring extra TLC. I currently work from home most of the week. I'm available for boarding, dog walking and daycare during the week and weekends. I will try to accommodate any schedule. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs and a cat to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I'm experienced with handling dogs of all sized, breeds, and temperaments. Happy to accommodate special needs, dietary restrictions and medication schedules.

About: Hi! My name is Ali H. I have a 13 year old poodle that my family and I raised and trained. I have watched dogs since I was 10 (I will be 21 in November) and it is one of my favorite things to do! I have watched puppy from the age of 10 weeks all the way up to senior dogs. I have taken care of dog with many health problems. Since I live more in the country my dog and I normally go for walks about twice a week and we play in my yard everyday! Dogs in my house are treated like family. We make sure they are loved and cuddled everyday. And of course they sleep with us at night! We also love taking my dog for cars rides and spending time with other dogs to make sure she is socializing!

About: I have always had a love for all kinds of animals. Ive enjoyed watching family and friends pets as well as caring for my own pets in my apartment. I'd love to get to know you and your unique pet and make them feel even more loved and appreciated. I have past background knowledge on pet nutrition,hygiene and behavior traits. I am currently starting school in March to gain my pharmacy technician certification, I would have open availability to provide assistance for you and your pets. I do have a dog with me, her name is Maze. Maze is a rescue, she stays in my room and going on walks multiple times a day as well as dog parks, she would love to have a friend. Maze eats 2 times a day once in the morning and once in the evening with a snack (can of tuna/shredded chicken) in the afternoon. Maze talks walks in a harness to provide safely,we do have an extra! I have cats as well, the are allowed to freely roam around with little latches that keep bedroom doors open just enough for them to go in and out, they are also fed twice a day with wet food and have dry kibble out for free feeding through the day, since they have smaller stomachs they eat more frequently, howver the dry food is only filled once it runs out completely, the cats also have a running water fountain as well as other water bowls on elevated surfaces. Their are plenty of pet beds,toys and treats, if their are any allergies please let me know!

About: I like dogs because they encourage me to be active. Keeping pups clean and pretty is fun for me because my dog doesn't like water. I treat all dogs like children. I walk 2 Rottweilers everyday Monday thru Friday. Also, I walk and play with a Golden retriever named Hershey Monday thru Friday. I have stayed at my sister's house, she has a pitbull, blue heeler and lab mix. I have kept my parents Japanese Chin and Pekingese. So I have lots of experience with many different breeds of pups. I have never met a dog that I didn't get along with or that didn't like me. Dogs are like people and should be treated that way. I enjoy spending time with cats too. I am not a reptile person.

“Lilia was so kind to walk my dog on long work days. Cooper loved her!”
